Micael has been voted \u201cthe business community\u2019s most popular speaker\u201d in Sweden, and in September 2021 he was ranked second in the world in the latest global ranking of researchers in his field by the Journal of Business Research.<\/p>\n

Micael\u2019s latest book, “More Numbers Every Day: How Data, Stats, and Figures Control Our Lives and How to Set Ourselves Free<\/em>“, explores how numbers and measurements affect us. Co-written with Norwegian research colleague Helge Thorbj\u00f8rnsen, professor at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH), the book delves into how we rate and count everything\u2014from money and friends to eating habits and calories. We\u2019re constantly counting, and that influences not only how we think but also how we feel. Should everything really be quantified?<\/p>\n

He has previously written “A Little Book About the Meaning of Life<\/em>” a sort of follow-up to his earlier work ” Little Book About Happiness”<\/em>. Both books are based on research about how happiness works and what makes us feel good – and they have been widely discussed and appreciated by readers and media alike.<\/p>\n
